How do I record stuff onto a DVD from my DVR?

Question

I have a comcast DVR box that records programs. I have recorded them onto the DVR, but do not know how to take the already recorded program and put it on a DVD. Can any one help?

Hi Andrew,

You can feed the output of your DVR into the input of your DVD recorder.

If you want to do it on your computer you need a device like DVD Xpress.

With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. I got mine at Sam's for $59.95.

I saw a newer model at WalMart recently. It was the DVD Xpress2. I think it was $39.95 but I am not positive. You can check one out here http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress-d...

You connect the composite output of your DVR into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.

Run the dvr cables to the dvd player and then to the tv.  When you start the dvr program you can then start the dvd recorder.  Remember to "finalize" on the dvd or it will not play on any other machine.

Answer 3

You can connect your  DVD recorder to your cable box via firewire and then press record.
